OV9

5 litre v8, 720 - 800 bhp depending on the edition. I think that looks pretty cool...

More info from their website, but when I start looking at the pictures on there, I can't figure out the proportions at all! From some angles it looks like anyone over 3 foot won't fit in it.

Ahhhh, guess I missed this.

It has a bit of a Weissman look. Which is a good thing.

The new chassis has a wheelbase of 2’570 mm, 284 mm longer than the AC Mk. VI, yet the car’s overall length has grown only 110 mm, up to 4’225 mm.

Secondary functions including HVAC, navigation and infotainment, and smartphone integration are via the 10.25-inch touch screen mounted below the main instrumentation.

Heater controls in the screen? The screen that's hidden down below the bank of switches so it's perfect for smashing your hand against on a bumpy road?

Get fucked, AC. Of all companies who really should know better, just get fucked.

Not that anyone is going to drive one of these on a bumpy road, obviously. Or anywhere outside of road testers on track, and people nervously crawling to Cars and Coffee.

Not exactly similar, but.....vibes.....

The roof looks wrong

Subtle bulge for the occupant's head?

The roadster version just looks much better and correct. The coupe roofline is giving me Chevy Crossfire dog crimping one off vibes.

A company that every time they announce a new car, I think "You're still in business ? How ??"

Usually Bristol. Their website currently announcing their revival as an EV manufacturer for their 80th anniversary this year.

LOL.

There was around 10 ACs at a local car show I went to a few weeks ago (more round the corner from this pic)



That's all I have to add to this post.

There are always a few at shows, but I assume aside from the few that are paraded at Goodwood, the rest are all replicas.
